Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, ensuring each piece is uniform for even cooking. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Arrange the marinated chicken bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  5. Verify that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer.
  6. Remove the chicken bites from the air fryer and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
